Macdonald & Company is proud to be exclusively retained by a globally active real estate investment and development firm to appoint a Managing Director to lead its U.S. investment platform as part of a formal and strategic expansion across the region.
Our client operates internationally with a successful track record of delivering risk-adjusted returns across real estate private equity, development, and joint-venture strategies. With committed capital in place and a long-term mandate for growth, the U.S. business is poised for rapid institutional scale.
This is a rare opportunity to lead from the front, building partnerships, securing capital, and executing investments - while shaping the U.S. growth strategy for a well-capitalized, entrepreneurial platform.
Role Overview

- Buy-Side: Sourcing, structuring, and executing joint venture real estate investments with development and operating partners.
- Sell-Side: Raising capital from a curated network of institutional investors, family offices, and private wealth platforms.
Reporting directly to global leadership, the MD will have the autonomy to build and lead a lean, high-performing team and act as a key strategic voice in platform direction.
